Just dock your compatible Apple device, and the Bose® SoundDock® III digital music system delivers rich, room-filling sound. The system is small enough to carry easily from room to room, yet it sounds surprisingly full and spacious thanks to its proprietary acoustic design.

Big sound and lots of volume.

This Bose SoundDock has great sound and plenty of volume. I work in a truck manufacturing plant. There is a lot of noise and I needed some thing to 'rise above the noise'. This system really works well for this. I use a Sony Walkman MP3 player and Aux. cord that plugs into the rear of the SoundDock. An other plus is that it is compact enough that I can put it in a tool box and lock it up so it can't be stolen. The volume is very high and does not distort. My co-works and I are loving this system. The only negative is it has no manual volume control. Have to use the remote.

Bose Soundock Series III

I bought this as a gift for a good friend of mine. She and her hubby both have iphone 5's. They are incredibly happy with the gift. They didn't have any type of audio gear, but had heard an assortment of gear that I own, including a Bose Sound Dock I have for an old iPod touch. They are amazed at the quality of the Bose, and can't believe they have this quality of sound in their home. The fact that it works seemlessly with their iPhone 5's is the icing on the cake. They are ecstatic...and I'm the most popular guy on their X-Mas card list. Thanks to Crutchfield for their legendary customer support when I ordered the Bose unit. They never disappoint.

Pros:The best money you can spend for Iphone 5 sound. Versatility with an accessory jack. Gorgeous unit.

great sound

No surprise this item has great sound.......it's a Bose after all. I gave this to my wife for Christmas and she absolutely loves it! It's nice to be able to have background music in the house that sounds so good that it doesn't become irritating. By the way, I've been a happy Crutchfield customer for over 30 years. Love you guys!

SoundDock

I give this product one star because it only worked correctly one time and since it was a gift for my wife the remaining experiences are categorized in my do column. (not done). The remote will not turn the unit on. The newest iphone will not work in the unit. It sounded good when I did hear it but since sounds like a chore (chore-southern for burdensome task)..

Notes:

*The iPhone 6+, iPad 4, iPad air, and iPad mini all require Cable
Jive's Lightning Dock Extender cable (897LDOCKX2,
sold separately); this due to the fact that these iPhone and iPad device
are too big to seat in the speaker's integrated dock.

Not compatible any Apple iPod, iPhone, or iPad device which features
the 30-pin dock connector.

Apple iPod/iPhone software updates may change functionality results.
If you download a newer software version, you may need to reset the head
unit and your iPod/iPhone to regain functionality. If this doesn't work,
you may need to wait until a newer software update is available.

Aux Input: The SoundDock III has a rear-panel 3.5mm auxiliary
input for connecting a external portable audio source other than your iPod.

Power Supply: The unit is powered
by the supplied AC adapter only. It does not operate on battery power. The
SoundDock III provides power to charge your iPod, even if the speaker system is off.

Non-Slip Feet: The bottom of the
SoundDock III features six surface-gripping rubber pads to provide a stable platform
on most surfaces.
